Nutrition/WIC Services

What is WIC?

Even if you or your family members are working, it can be hard to make ends meet.  The Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) may be able to help. 

WIC is a federal nutrition program offered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and administered in Illinois by the Department of Human Services (DHS).  WIC helps parents to feed their children properly during critical periods of growth and development.

The WIC program provides:

  • Nutrition education
  • Nutrition counseling
  • Breastfeeding Support
  • Nutritious foods
  • Referrals to other services

WIC may be able to help you if you . . .

  • are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • have an infant or children up to age 5
  • are working with limited income or have no income and want to improve your family's health with good nutrition
